Arguably the most important document in Japanese Buddhism, the "Lotus Sutra" has had so pervasive an influence that it might be said that no area of Japanese culture has been left untouched by it. This volume is the first attempt in a Western language to look at the sutra's cultural significance from a multidisciplinary perspective. Japanese and North American scholars of history, religion, art, and literature examine how doctrine and worship, meaning and ritual, ideology and power, didactics and aesthetics, have been intertwined in the sutra's long and fascinating history. The book begins with essays by Shioiri Ryōdō and Tamura Yoshirō that summarize the traditional understanding of the content of the sutra and the traditional methods used in analyzing it as a religious document. The essays by Paul Groner, Neil McMullin, and Kuroda Toshio examine how the scripture came to be used by the priesthood both as a buttress in sectarian arguments and as a means to capture political power. The sutra's influence on the arts is the concern of Miya Tsugio, who delineates the various images used to convey the messages of the text in pictorial art, and Yamada Shōzen, who demonstrates its role as the inspiration for numerous poems and as a basis for differentiating poetic style. Allan G Grapard, in his chapter on the "Lotus Sutra" in Kunisaki, reveals the text's applications in the interpretation of physical space and landscape. The final two essays by George J. Tanabe, Jr., and Helen Hardacre discuss the sutra's continuing influence on twentieth-century religious leaders and the new religions of Japan.
